Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 6 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cups Powdered erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Sugar-free fruit jam (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 ounces of cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheeses are melted and combined into a smooth dough-like consistency.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the melted cheese mixture and one egg to the dry ingredients. Knead until a uniform dough forms. If the dough becomes too sticky, wet your hands lightly to handle it.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball slightly and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving room between each piece.
Using your thumb or the back of a spoon, create a shallow indentation in the center of each dough piece to hold the filling.
In a medium-sized bowl, beat the remaining 4 ounces of cream cheese, powdered erythritol, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This will be your sweet cream cheese filling.
Spoon a small amount of the cream cheese mixture into each indentation. If desired, add a dollop of sugar-free fruit jam on top for added flavor.
Brush the edges of the dough lightly with melted butter to help it brown nicely.
Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the kolache edges are golden brown and the filling is set.
Allow the kolaches to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving.
